O Lord, holy is Your Name!
As one of Your many children,
my inheritance I openly claim.

Willingly I lift my voice in praise,
thankful for Your new mercies
and the warmth of the sun’s rays.

With genuineness of heart
and a simplicity of words,
I desire for Your kick start…

to begin this glorious day,
as I’m covered with blessings,
and faith’s fragrant bouquet!

Forgive me of my ignorance
and lack of spiritual understanding,
when I kneel before Your Presence.

Teach me Lord about true forgiveness;
etch its precepts into my heart;
allow me to remain covered by Thy holiness.

Bathe me with divine inspiration,
and cover me with Your Essence,
before I embrace… death’s cremation.

Thanks for meeting my earthly needs;
keep me focused on right priorities
and spreading your Word’s holy seed.

Help me share my poetic story
and touch the lives of others,
until I reach… Heaven’s glory.

Once again I looked at my sides,
When I decided my password needed a change,
It was rotting - really.

This gaming website required a unique password,
It required at least 10 characters,
My sides were clear and none was peeping.

It required 3 special characters as well,
2 capital letters were also required for it,
I thought for a while & decided as follows:

Superman + Spiderman + Batman + New Delhi + New York = *3SSB2ND&NY;
Not entirely my creation, but I took inspiration from a joke on the same theme.

My HP Poem #449
©Atul Kaushal
I am one of those
who do watches
and people love to watch me -
they watch, but ironically,
they call me Watch Man

Well, for a start, I can eat watches
At a recent show
I ate 4 watches in 6 slow hours -
it was time-consuming

My wrists stretch on the touch of
watch bracelets
and so they made me wear many to see
how many I could wear on each wrist
20 on either wrist is what my stretch could take –
yeah, you could say,
I just had too much time on my hands
Last on show they made me wear a belt of watches
which was a pretty waist of time,
if you know what I mean

Look I’ve applied
to join DC Comics
Me as Watch Man
along with the likes of Iron Man, the Hulk
and Spider Man and such characters nondescript
But I’ve been turned down
Just not your time yet, I’ve been told

Well, so I content myself meantime
as Watch Man at Freak Shows
Doing the Time
before my Big Time
When there are enough time-savvy people
Who can recognise the genius
of those who do watches
...poem based on jokes I found online....I'm moving house now and may not have internet connection for a while...I've been so time-poor, I have not been able to acknowledge your responses to my previous poem and to visit your pages...my apologies....will do so after I return in the next couple of weeks....meanwhile, I offer the poem above for your amusement and reflection...
I've been told I'm cynical
by  a hippie with dreadlocks.
No, I don't want to try molly with you.

I've been told that cuddling is better in the cold
by a boy with an enviable smile, wearing a striped sweater.
Let's make a book of comfortable sleeping positions for couples.
With the bed as the office, and the sheets for a desk.

I've been told that I'm too old for hugs
by the contributor of half my genes.
I love you too.

People tell me things
and usually I don't listen.
But sometimes I do.
We’re running in circles
Between feelings and reality
True feelings
Expected feelings
Lying feelings
I miss you
I love you
I’m lying to you
But still want to be together
But it’s not that easy
I don’t really believe it
As least not for myself
Better together
Or at least better than being alone
It’s security
Assurance
Not being stuck alone
And through the tears the words that tear
The tottering on the cliff
The absences of any feeling
The circle still continues
Of cyclical dependency
And tentative independence unsure
From 3/11/12
I just wish you were here
With me
I wish I could feel your warmth
I wish I could wrap my arms around you
I wish I could kiss you
Because you're mine

You're so sweet
And sometimes I feel like I don't deserve it
Because of all the mistakes I made
And its weird to me
That you love me more
Then I love myself

And our relationship is different from the others
Because
We did it
We make it work
We proved to the world that
If you really love someone
Distance is just another bump

I loved the way you talked
About the most meaningless stuff
But yet it was so meaningful to me
How you wished you had wings
So you could travel
See the world
Live

But love you see
Not all angels have wings

You told me how you were going to take me with you
Show me the world
We would be unstoppable
But life got in the way
And we said it would all work
That we would find a way

But it does get hard
And I do miss you
I miss the way you would poke my cheeks
Even when I told you to stop
I miss the constant teasing
When I tried not to laugh
I miss the way you hugged me
When I had a bad day
I miss the way you said I was beautiful
When I doubted myself
But what I miss the most
Is when you would hold me
And tell me you loved me
Because right then and there
I knew that you will forever and always be
*My angel with no wings
